- Summary:
-
"The Yallourn model was a dream, the ideal a youthful flush. My Overburden drawings acknowledge the inevitability of change and a loss of community identity. The township is a pervasive ghost, even a perennial weed, but I find a curious and poignant beauty in its broad detritus. Primarily, the drawings signify an enduring and palpable ache."--Foreword.
